Safety attentions for pulse wave measurement
Before the use, please check the pulse wave probe and if there is worn cable or abnormality, please
immediately stop using the equipment.
Do not place the pulse wave probe on the limb with an artery or venous infusion tube because
such circumstance will affect the accuracy of measuring results.
Do not look directly at the pulse wave probe when using it in order to avoid the damage to eyes.
Please stop using the probe if you find out its temperature is obviously increasing.
Please do not use the pulse wave probe for a long time when the ambient temperature is above 40
degrees in order to avoid burns.
Normally, at least once every 3 hours, change the wearing position. Inspect the worn area every 1
to 2 hours to ensure good skin condition is aligned with the correct light. If local skin condition
changes, please change the position of the pulse wave probe in time.
Constant use of the pulse wave probe can cause discomfort or tenderness, especially in patients
with microcirculatory disturbances, so preferably change the wearing position once every 2 hours.
As for some special patients, the measuring part of the pulse wave probe should be checked
carefully and do not place the sensor in a edematous or fragile tissue!
Those who are measured should not have long fingernails and apply nail polish, etc.
If those who are measured have thick callus of fingers, the finger with less callus is preferred.
Do not bend, twist cable.
